Description

This episode was originally published on Renewable Energy World's Factor This! podcast.  It's been more than 600 days since the lights went out for millions of Texans during Winter Storm Uri. The near-total collapse of the Texas grid can be attributed to a number of culprits— and there has been no shortage of finger-pointing. Promises were made that what happened in February 2021 would never happen again. And a market redesign that's underway is supposed to be the solution. To better understand what's happening, and what's to come, Episode 24 of the Factor This! podcast features Texas Capitol mainstays Caitlin Smith of Jupiter Power, Mark Stover of Apex Clean Energy, and Doug Lewin, host of Renewable Energy World's Texas Power Podcast. Show notes:-Check out the "Don't California my Texas (electricity market)" episode of the Texas Power Podcast for a deep dive into a highly-anticipated report on the three electricity market redesign proposals.-Read the ICF report commissioned by the Texas Consumer Association Factor This!  is produced by Renewable Energy World and Clarion Energy.
